AggregateFunction<V> class abstract

Interface for application-defined aggregate functions.

A subclass of AggregateFunction should hold no state across invocations. All its state needed during a computation should be stored in an instance of V.

As an example, take a look at the following Dart implementation of the count() aggregate. Recall that there are two versions of count(). With zero arguments, count() returns the number of rows. With one argument, count() returns the number of times that the argument was non-null.

class MyCount implements AggregateFunction<int> {
 @override
 AggregateContext<int> createContext() => AggregateContext(0);

 @override
 void step(List<Object> arguments, AggregateContext<int> context) {
   if (arguments.isEmpty || arguments.first != null) {
     context.value++;
   }
 }

 @override
 Object finalize(AggregateContext<int> context) {
   return context.value;
 }
}
